Just pointing out that they do the exact same thing. Show you an MSRP that the product is never sold at, to give you the impression that you are getting a good deal. I know Jenson does it too. Amazon did the same until recently. Retail shops thrive on that marketing strategy, to the point JCPenny got clobbered when they actually tried a reasonable MSRP on their clothes, instead of running perpetual "sales" that were de facto regular prices.
It is a common retail strategy, nothing more, nothing less.
